"This is the kick-off of an exciting time in Scugog," Mayor Howard Hall told those in attendance Thursday night. The best part is the project 18 an infrastructure program, with funds split between the provincial and federal governments and the township, with no money coming out of the tax levy, Mayor Hall added. He stressed this is only the first step toward recognizing the needs and dreams of a second ice pad and many other facilities. A committee of four, Kennedy Self, Bob Hall, Jim McMillan and Sean Fewer has been working on fundraising avenues for the Scugog Centre for the past eight months. Mr. Self told the audience it has been a dream of many to see such a facility and the committee's goal 1s to raise funds one phase at a time. The committee has placed a $100,000 goal for the first phase of the project, which is for the community hall. The committee is close to realizing half of its goal CAS board to meet On April 6, people with an interest in child wel- fare will gather at the Oshawa Public Library on Bagot Street for The Chil- dren's Aid Society of the Durham Region 89th An- nual Meeting.

The Rotary Club of Port Perry was the first to make a commitment to the new facility to the tune of $20,000. Port Perry Minor Softball and Hockey followed, contributing $9,000 and $12,000 respectively. The Honeydale Women's Institute followed suit donating $400 to the hall. Once the first phase 1s realized, the committee will set future goals in its strides for an aquatic centre and second ice pad. Several fundraising ideas are being tossed around by the committee including a sports celebrity dinner where organizers are trying to line up Edmonton Oiler coach and Port Perry native son George Burnett to headline. Coin boxes will be placed in the beer and liquor stores in Port Perry beginning in July and other raffles and draws are also being lined up. The idea for the new Scugog Centre came after a recreational feasibility study was done in the township in 1987.

Clinic set to close four days in spring From page 1 clinic management will strive to meet funding caps imposed by the provincial government, said Dr. Cohoon. In a letter to The Star this week, management at the clinic express con- cerns that locals will have an increasingly tough time receiving the medical attention they seek as tough funding measures limit physician billing, and availability. Clinics and hospitals may also have to consider further delisting of proce- dures currently covered by OHIP as they strive to cuts costs, said Dr. Cohoon. "I think the public is becoming aware there is a lack of funds and some- body's going to have to start paying to keep the system going," he said. The Medical Associates are also urging people to avoid unnecessary trips to the doctor's offices as a means of keeping costs down. In their letter, they urge their clients to use "discretion" in making trips to the clinic or the hospital emergency ward. The Medical Associates clinic is closed April 6, 7 and 17, and May 23. Emergency service will continue to be available at the local hospital dur- ing that time.
